in Fig. A2, for the bottom sashthe bevel opposite for the 'top sash so as to form the usual' weather-strip for the exclusion of water. Behind the inclined edges 7 and S, within the top rail, there. is a plug, fi, riveted.y as shown, to the edges T and 8, to give additional stift'- ness thereto and till the end thereof. f

The llanges d d d form abed or cavity for the reception of the cement or putty which is t0 S0111 the. glass. Alter the cement. has been applied, the glass is imei-ted, and the front; edges of the glass are then cemented or pnttied iu the usual manner. The green lines indicate the glass and the cement is shown-in red.
